Customer surveys are a powerful tool when trying to figure out the effectiveness of retail branding. Surveys tell us more about our strengths and weaknesses, give us a good sense of customer satisfaction, help us make improvements and track changes, increase brand loyalty, and support data-driven goals. If we check surveys regularly, we can attain long-term success.

Monitoring social channels not only helps companies collect information about different customer groups but also helps them understand their needs. According to statista.com, around 62% of the world's population uses social media. Understanding what your customers prefer is a great way to build brand loyalty. What better way to help you guide your brand strategies and stay competitive than listening directly to what customers say, share, and buy online?

Deciding whether to expand the availability of a particular product across a store can only be made by asking customers for in-store feedback. During my time at the Whole Foods Market, there were sampling stations where customers could try out new products. At these tables, demo specialists would interact with customers to get their views on flavor, standard, and other related aspects. In addition, the feedback received was used by Whole Foods Market to improve the offered products according to customer needs based on the store and its unique community. The most authentic and straightforward feedback that any brand can wish for is face-to-face customer interaction involving effective reporting.
